Uh, he has no friends. And that short-bus reject that blows him (Lefty) is more likely some kind of a parasite than a friend.Originally Posted by Diamondjimi
But, back on topic, that is a nice sunburst.
My main reason for posting my little story-tale was just to say "I understand where you're coming from".

No guitars, no hair, no height,no friends is a sad way to go through life.

Best thing you could do for that guitar is to get the top repaired and revert it back to stock hardtail configuration.
The way to do this, is to stick part of the body on a scanner and save the file for Kinko's to print out on a wax lazerprint.
Then you take it to a qualified luthier, who can fill in the missing portion with solid alder or ash, and then paste a portion of what you scanned that sorta matches the flame in the missing area.
You can even mis-match the sloppy off-angled "bookmatching" of the flame veneer by cutting the paper with scissors to the correct angle.
It will look a helluva lot better and the sustain it had will return. Plus, you can sell the Kahler for $100 and stick that sweet PAF in something decent. That guitar would be best off with a DiMarzio double-creme distiortion.
Good luck with your restoration, it's a labor of love that makes these things sing.. but like they say you cannot make a silk purse of a sow's ear.. it is what it is because of what it represents to you sentimentally

I thought of another way you could restore that today!
What you do, is send it to that guy on lespaulforum that does the retopping of Pauls, and have him cut the top off with a mill for you, glue a solid block of wood in the Kahler rout, and reveneer it with the correct bookmatch angle.
BUT the binding would HAVE to come off first.
I could do this on my mill ... but I don't have time to fuck around with binding. And I do have a nice stock of flame veneer I have planned to do my explorer/star cutdown project, and a mahogany V body with.. I may have some leftovers..

OK since you obviously do not trust me, let's do this then:
You: place the guitar on a plain sheet of paper.. usually I take a large white KFC takeout sack, and slit it to make a flat poster-sized template. Just trace around the edges.
Then: mail the template to Jay, who lives within driving distance of my parole officer's unit downtown. He could drop it off to Frank for me there on the 15th when he drops off his biweekly CA-7 welfare claim form on his next downtown visit.
Frank: will hold it for me until I go pay my monthly visit to him. Where he will hold my cock for the ensuing piss quiz ensuring that I am still clean of drugs.
Then: Before I leave, Frank will hand the pencil etching of your guitar's outline, and I will scrape some of the barnacles off my hull with it before it gets flushed to the Pacific Ocean.
So you seen the Interdnet is your friend, even when you distrust others unreasonably.. so let's work together on this and it will come out alright in the end, from my rear end to the deep end.
Humour?
What the fuck is a CA-7? Sounds like you're the one who's intimately familiar with the California Welfare system there, GARfail...
Probation Officer? No wonder you can only get gigs that you can be replaced by migrant workers at...

Unlike Garfuckle and his delusional ravings, the best thing you could do for that guitar is to play it, and be glad you have it.
END OF FUCKING STORY.
GET THE PICTURE GARFUCKLE? FUCKING PATHOLOGICAL LOSER!

Go do to that Lefty fucktard what you do best:
